Title: Partisan fight leads Obama to move date of speech

A presidential address to a joint session of Congress is usually one of Washington’s more dignified and predictable events — but President Barack Obama’s request to deliver a Sept. 7 speech quickly devolved into just another partisan pie fight.

Oval Office requests for a prime-time slot in the well of the House — whatever the motivation, topic or tenor of the times — are traditionally approved on a more or less pro forma basis. In fact, the official historian for the House of Representatives told reporters Wednesday that no such request has ever been publicly rejected.

But this is 2012 Washington, where the comforting little courtesies and old-shoe rituals that once kept bickering Democrats and Republicans from immobilizing the republic have been chucked in the constant quest for news-cycle leverage.

First, Obama ambushed the GOP by upstaging the party’s presidential debate with a major address. Then Republicans returned fire by trying to push it back to the 8th. Then the name-calling started. Finally, late Wednesday, Obama agreed to change the day — even if it means backtracking and bumping against the NFL’s Thursday night opener.

“Both Houses will be back in session after their August recess on Wednesday, September 7th, so that was the date that was requested,” Obama press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement after a day of partisan sniping.

“We consulted with the Speaker about that date before the letter was released, but he determined Thursday would work better. The President is focused on the urgent need to create jobs and grow our economy, so he welcomes the opportunity to address a Joint Session of Congress on Thursday, September 8th and challenge our nation’s leaders to start focusing 100% of their attention on doing whatever they can to help the American people.”

It's hilarious that the DittOSphincts were grinding their teeth over Obama's vacation and now that he's back to work their bitching about WHEN he works.

I'm not quite sure if I qualify as a DittoSphinct, but I personally prefer the "vacationing" Obama to the "working" one.

What's left of the Republic seems to be in less danger with the former vs. the latter.

'course I say the same thing about Congress

He's adding hurricane Irene to the list of excuses... so there!

Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

His speeches do seem to have lost their luster.

For instance, I can't recall the last time I heard about someone fainting.

(now they just fall asleep)

If only it was so.

CHILDREN aren't naturally EVIL.

CHILDREN aren't naturally THIEVES.

Children would likely do a better job that "that parliament of whores on the potomac" is currently doing.

At least THEY would have a valid excuse for acting like children.

Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.

Likely I did. But I don't remember it specifically.

I do however remember "The Lord of the Flies".

I freely admit that my statement was HYPERBOLE.

But imo the point still remains valid.

To wit; that ALMOST ANYBODY could run this country better than "That Parliament of WHORES on the Potomac" is doing.
